| AGREEMENT STATE REPORT REGARDING PACKAGE DAMAGED DURING OVERSEA SHIPMENT     |
|                                                                              |
| The New York City Bureau of Radiological Health was contacted on 6/6/2001 by |
| a Japan Airlines (JAL) representative regarding a damaged shipment of 104    |
| �Ci of I-125 (liquid).  The package was being shipped from New England       |
| Nuclear in Boston, Massachusetts to China Isotope Corporation in Beijing,    |
| China.  The package had been transported by truck to JFK Int'l Airport,      |
| where it was loaded onto a JAL aircraft.  The JAL representative reported    |
| that the package was badly damaged and leaking upon arrival in Tokyo, Japan. |
| Representatives of the Bureau of Radiological Health and Radiac (a           |
| contractor for JAL) surveyed the building at JFK Int'l Airport where the     |
| package had been stored, but found no radioactive contamination. The caller  |
| was unsure of actions taken at the airport in Tokyo.                         |
|                                                                              |

| OFFSITE NOTIFICATION OF HYDRAZINE SPILL                                      |
|                                                                              |
| "On June 6, 2001, between 1200 and 1300 hours PDT, personnel were unloading  |
| hydrazine at a site HAZMAT pad and inadvertently spilled about 20 gallons.   |
| All 20 gallons were contained within the concrete pad and berm and were      |
| subsequently recovered for disposal. No hydrazine was released to the        |
| environment and no employees were injured. While this did not represent a    |
| significant environmental event, at about 1630 PDT on June 6, 2001, SCE      |
| began notifying the Office of Emergency Services, the National Response      |
| Center, and the San Diego Department of Environmental Health. Consequently,  |
| Southern California Edison is providing this notification in accordance with |
| 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(xi) for notification of other government agencies. At the |
| time of this occurrence, both Units 2 and 3 were operating at about 100%     |
| power; Unit 1 remains permanently defueled. SCE will notify the NRC Resident |
| Inspectors about this notification and will provide them with a copy of this |
| report."                                                                     |
